I am planning to join Rutland's fleet of CC19s this season when I take delivery of No.86 "Sarie Marais". Rutland (or rather Anglia Water) does not allow...
Hi Graham We were at Rutland the season before last & used an electric motor when necessary. Whilst the horsepower is indeed puny compared with a proper...
This looks like an interesting idea - but MinnKota engines have always struck me as being amazingly puny. However there are a few other electric outboards on...
Dear Graham, I have CC 'Robyn' at Rutland and welcome to the club. I keep Robyn on a mooring and use a 'Rhino RVX 34 powered by a 12 V 75AH battery. This motor...
I agree with Andy - 'Capable' was at RW last season too. I bought a cheap electric outboard (the prop would not go through the well by the way but just about...
